\ ORNAMENT FOR LADIES SLIPPELR-S.

Application filed January 14, 1924. Serial No. 686,231.

To all whom it may concern: 1 Be it known that. I, OSCAR SCHILLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of. New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ornaments for Ladies Slippers; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My invention relates to ornaments used on ladies slippers and other articles of apparel and it is the principal object of such invention to provide an exceptionally simple and inexpensive device of this class, yet one which will retain its shape and will at all times present an attractive appearance, the device being also of such construction as to permit any accumulated dust to be readily brushed therefrom, whereas such dust cannot be entirely removed from the ordinary pompons now used upon slippers.

With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.

Figure 1 is a plan view of a partially completed ornament constructed in accordance with my invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view on line 2-2 of Fig. 1. V

Figure 3 is a bottom plan view of the stiff concavo-convex backing upon which the ornamental covering is secured.

Fi re 4 is a sectional view on line 4 & of Fig. 3.

In the drawing above briefly described, the numeral 1 designates a concavo-convex backing which is preferably of uniform thickness throughout its area being in most instances constructed of cardboard. I have shown the edge portions of the backing 1, formed with openings 2 through which stitches may be passed to secure the device in place, and attention may here be directed to the fact that the concave lower side. of the backing permits its edge to tightly engage the article to whichit is secured, giving a much better appearance than if portions of such ed e were permitted to lie in spaced relation with the article. I

Upon the convex upper side of the backing 1, I secure a suitable covering of ornacovering'may be rather thin and hence inexpenslve.

In the preferred form of construction, I use a length 3 of ornamental braid for covering the backing 1. One end of this braid is passed through a central openin 4 in the backing 1 and is suitably anchore in said opening, for instance, by tying a knot 5 in said end, under the backing. On the convex upper side of'this backing, the braid 3 is coiled with its convolutions in sufficiently close relation to effectively cover the backing, and while these convolutions may be secured upon said backing in any suitable manner, they are by preferance glued or cemented.

By providing an article constructed in or substantially in the manner shown and described, it may be easily and inexpensively manufactured and sold at small cost, yet it will be very attractive and in every way desirable, particular attention being directed to the fact that the appearance is given of a thick pile or mound of the ornamental material, whereas in reality, only a thin layer may be used; this thin layer permits of the easy removal of any dust which may 'accu mulate thereon, which is greatly advantaeous over the usual slipper ornaments now in use; and the concave formation of the lower side of the article, allows its edge portion to tightly engage the slipper .or other article to which it is attached, thereby givin a better appearance than could otherwise e obtaine As excellent results may be derived fromthe details disclosed, these details may well be followed, but within the scope of the invention as claimed, numerous minor changes may be made.

I claim:

1. An ornament for ladies slippers or convex backin an a covering of ornamental material directly secured upon the convex side of said backing, the convex formation iniparted to the upper side of the ornament by said backing serving to give the ornamental material, while the concave other articles com rising a stiff concavoappearance of a thick pile or mound of the lower side of said backing permits its edge to be held tightly against the slipper or other article.

2. An ornament for ladies slippers or other articles comprising a stiff concavoconvex backing of circular outline formed with a central opening, and a length of ornamental braid having one end anchored in said opening, said braid being coiled spirally upon and secured to the convex side of said packing.

3. An ornament for ladies slippers or I other articles comprising a stiff condavoconvex backing of circular outline formed W1th a centralopening, a covering of ornamental braid for the entire outer face of the convex side of said backing, said covering consisting of a single length of ornamental braid which has one end anchored in said opening by passing said end through the opening and knotting it, the other end of the braid being coiled in a spiral manner affixed my signature. OSCAR SCHILLER.
